    I'm in for a challenge! I would like to try to lose a pound a week, so I would be in for a ~ 12 lb challenge by XMAS.

    I'm in! The last time I did an xmas challenge it worked really well - a 30 lb goal is just a benchmark. As long as you're trying to lose something, you'll be happy at the end of 3 months :)

    I'm in, but I plan to gain some muscle too. My nutritionist has a scale that measures muscle, so for every pound of muscle I gain, I'm going to count as a pound of fat loss. Fair?

    Of course not, we only started a week ago. Just post your start and goal weight in the Christmas Meltdown thread, there's plenty of time yet. It doesn't have to be 30 lbs, just a goal you want to hit by Christmas. Welcome aboard. :)

    Lol I wish! I just keep plugging along, going for lifestyle change which is much more than a short term goal. I love MFP add me if you wish! :happy:

    Love your approach, I'm in. Currently at 175 my goal is 2 pounds a week I have to up it by 2.5 pounds a week. Can I do it? Yes! It all adds up, a walk, an extra 10minutes in the sauna, and extra five minutes of cross fit. I am so ready to see myself again!
    Sauna? thats not exercise nor does it prove to burn calories, just saying, caught my eye.

    So tiring to see unrealistic and unhealthy goals cheered on so often here at MFP. We cannot dictate to our body that it must weigh x on x date. How about focusing on health and fitness and finding a permanent and sustainable lifestyle in order to achieve those goals? Setting weight loss goals by date is such a FAIL.

    Edit: and yes I will be "negative" and "unsupportive" of ideas and strategies that I feel are unhealthy and unsustainable.

    Unrealistic? Almost 35 lbs lost in 3 weeks and my scale says it's real. So does my nutritionists scale and my doctor is very happy. Obesity is unhealthy and I feel anyone working to get rid of that deserves cheers.

    Too bad you have such a negative view, this is a SUPPORT forum isn't it? Maybe whatever YOU think everyone should be doing is better kept to yourself. We have our own goals on this thread and we give support to help each other reach them. As far as I'm concerned, your attitude is FAIL. I for one do not care what you think after that post so go be negative somewhere else!

    I will join, it's a goal and even if you don't reach the 30lbs you can just be in it to challenge yourself.
